How do I configure the baud rate, parity, and data bits on my NION-232B board?

To configure the NION-232B board for communication, you'll need to adjust the baud rate, parity, and data bits. Here's how:

1. Baud Rate Configuration:

   • Your NION-232B likely came pre-configured, so check your specific application's requirements first.
   • Use switch S2 to adjust the baud rate settings.
   • Consult the following table for switch positions:

   Baud Rate	Switch Position 4	Switch Position 5	Switch Position 6
   600	Off	On	On
   1200	On	Off	On
   2400	Off	Off	On
   4800	On	On	Off
   9600	Off	On	Off

2. Parity Settings:

   • Use switch positions 2 and 3 to configure parity.
   • Refer to this table:

   Parity	Switch Position 2	Switch Position 3
   None	On	On
   Odd	On	Off
   Even	Off	Off

3. Data Bits Settings:

   • Use switch position 1 to configure data bits.
   • See this table:

   Data Bits	Switch Position 1
   8	On
   7	Off

   Important Considerations:

   • If the connected device needs 9 data bits, set the NION-232B to 8 data bits and use either Even or Odd parity.

   Make sure that the NION-232B board settings are identical to the RS-232 serial port settings of your control panel to guarantee successful communication. Always refer to the NION-232B's manual for detailed instructions and the most up-to-date switch settings.
